Roblon servers SE-18 or SE-24 apply yarns
to a cable winding off the material,
making them suitable for yarn types such
as the Roblon composite glass. Tension
is individually controlled during production
by means of hysteresis brakes. Roblon servers
can be easily integrated in both existing
and new production lines.
Rosendahl
Increasing demand for foamed data cores,
for RG-type coaxial cables up to ½” using
cheaper standard FEPs and for fluor-polymer
insulated wires for data-, coaxial-, micro-co-
axial and aerospace applications, drives the
demand for improved processing equipment,
process and material developments.
For this wide area of applications Rosendahl
has developed a series of extruders to cover
output ranges from 0.02kg/h up to 50kg/h
and cover foam rates for FEP from 20% up to
68% depending on product design and wall
thickness. By developing four new crosshead
designs a wide range of products is covered.
Newly designed payoffs and take-ups allow
wire tensions down to 3grams for processing
AWG54 special alloy wires.
